Tell us what’s happening:
Hello everyone, I have the following error doing the install and require helmet challenge:
“throw new TypeError('Router.use() requires a middleware function but got a ’ + gettype(fn)).”
- I only cloned the github repo:
GitHub - freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-infosec: A boilerplate for the freeCodeCamp curriculum. - Installed and required helmet
- And it’s not working, I think the error is in this line
app.use(’/_api’, api);
Because you have to give a middleware function and the variable api contains an object.
I need help please
My code so far
MyApp.js
const express = require(‘express’);
const app = express();
const helmet = require (‘helmet’);
module.exports = app;
const api = require(’./server.js’);
app.use(express.static(‘public’));
app.disable(‘strict-transport-security’);
app.use(’/_api’, api);
app.get("/", function (request, response) {
response.sendFile(__dirname + ‘/views/index.html’);
});
let port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(Your app is listening on port ${port});
});
